Zaveck retains IBF title

IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck (31-1, 18 KOs) retained his belt with a fifth round TKO over Paul Delgado (25-10-1, 4 KOs) on Friday at the sold-out Sportspark Arena in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Zaveck dropped Delgado twice in round two, and finished him in round five in the one-sided bout. Referee Benny Decroos finally waved in off in the fifth as the cut and battered Delgado sank to his knees. Zaveck, who made his third successful defense, has now set his sights on invading the USA in search of big fights.

Light heavyweight Denis Simcic (26-1, 14 KOs) defended his WBF International belt with a ten round unanimous decision over Sandro Siproshvili (24-8, 11 KOs). Some question about the scoring, but Simcic was up at least of seven points on all cards entering the tenth.
